Did something stupid.

Finally succumbed to that awful thing 'Facebook'. An old musical chum 'invited' me to be on it and suddenly there are a number of folk who start doing things like saying hello. Bloodyfuckingsoddingpisscuntarseholes. I did threaten everyone with my own particular brand of misanthropy but they keep coming nevertheless. Everyfuckingone is on 'Facebook'. Even Fra. Fucking Young Chelsea Bridge Club added me. What have I done? I may just delete the account.

When Dad got ill I withdrew from the world a bit. I kept in touch with the folk that mattered, but on a much less regular and familiar basis. I stopped playing even my once-in-a-blue-moon game of Bridge with Fra. I wonder how much I want the world anymore. I feel isolated, but it doesn't bother me: in fact I can live in a world where I can devote more emphasis to my own somewhat mayfly-like shallow intellectualism. Or perhaps I want to be a gadfly. O Ephemeroptera, where is thy sting?

I'm on there - but only to keep in touch with certain people.

It's too immediate and impersonal. Nothing like grabbing a brew down by the shore (or whatever) with a chum. Still - it's nice to keep in touch with nice people across a world.

LJ works just fine for me :)
